Benefits of technology

[0005] Present invention has a unique construction of a paired-up tees, wherein a first tee has a separable ball seat portion, so that the tee will not be damaged by golf swings.
[0006] Furthermore, a string is utilized to connect the first separable tee to a second tee, so that even when the first tee is hit up in the air, the string along with the second tee actually pull back and stop the first tee from flying out and disappear into any long grassy area on or around the tee-off box in the golf course.
[0007] The string used to connect the separable first tee and the second tee also helps to create a line for golfers to visualize and provides a good guidance for improving golf games.
[0008] The ball seat of the first tee is separable from, but connected to the center ring and base by a combination of a wire and spring, creating the desired structure to withstand hitting and quick restoration to original shape.
[0012] (3) said tee of 262 Application could become lost in the grass, just like other regular tees, lacking the string / second tee pulling of present invention, which ensures golfers will always be able to locate the tee.

Problems solved by technology

Although tees are relatively inexpensive and golfers usually carry a package of them in the golf bags, golfers sometimes run into problems when these one-time-use tees are used up in a game.

Embodiment Construction

[0021] Present invention uses the prevalent rubber or plastic material as the main ingredient for the production of the tee. These materials include, but are not limited to, PE, PVC, PU, etc., and help to enhance the durability of present invention. These are common art materials and need no disclosure herein.

[0022]FIG. 1 shows a first tee 100, connected to a second tee 200, by a string 150. By using this pair of tees connect by a string 150, golfers will be able to locate the tee after striking the ball (sitting on top of the tee), because the tee being struck upon (whether it's tee 100 or tee 200, depending on the use), the other tee will pull back the “flying out” action of the tee being struck upon. The string 150 can be made of bright color and thus helping to locate the tee construction.

[0023]FIGS. 2a and 2b show the breakable / separable construction of first tee 100. First tee 100 is further made up of 3 main parts: ball seat 80, center ring portion 50 and base 20. Ball seat...

The main advantage of present invention helps to reduce the loss of or damages to the golf tee, and therefore, has great environmental value. [0002] Golf tees traditionally are simply a wood stick with a widened seat on top for the ball to be placed. Although tees are relatively inexpensive and golfers usually carry a package of them in the golf bags, golfers sometimes run into problems when these one-time-use tees are used up in a game. [0003] Present invention provides a durable golf tee that allows golf players to carry only ONE tee of present invention and do not need to worry about buying a bunch of tees again and again. [0004] Because golfers need not repeatedly buy those one-time golf tees, present invention also has high environmental value in reducing wasted material. OBJECTS AND SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0005] Present invention ...
